A book about Kelly
I Have Conversations with You in My Dreams
Kelly Ann Jacobson's poetry reminds me that not everything in life has to be about the dark side to be engaging. This collection introduces a new narrator into the medium, full of style, full of substance. Always authentic. Read it in a field. Read it on the train. The poems bring a sense of nostalgia, and like something nostalgic, you'll walk away feeling like you belong to a world and words you probably haven't stopped and thought about for too long. -Scott Laudati, Hawaiian Shirts in the Electric Chair In I Have Conversations with You in My Dreams, Kelly Ann Jacobson writes of her journeys across oceans and back again-from London to New York, Lancaster to Rome.

Tink and Wendy
None
Weaver
In this Cloud Atlas-style speculative novel, humans are the alien invaders. The reader learns through many documents-police reports, legal depositions, speech transcripts, and diary entries-that a human company named HealthCorp has attempted to enslave two alien species: the Laffians stranded on a planet-wide ocean and the feline HoFe living on a bed of hofellium. Now, those same aliens have come to Earth in the hopes of using the planet to safely repopulate. The overriding question becomes whether these three groups can reconcile on Earth without killing each other first. . . .
Cairo in White
Closeted Egyptian teen Zahra finds herself in an arranged marriage to her girlfriend's brother. As Cairo swelters in the summer of 1986, spunky Egyptian teen Zahra pins on her hijab and faces the heat like a warrior, prepared to risk everything for a secret rendezvous with her lover. But after climbing the Ahmeds' wall and sneaking into their household, Zahra's parents catch her and force her to choose between telling them the truth about her relationship with the Ahmeds' daughter or marrying the son they think she's been sneaking there to see. Years later, Zahra's American daughter, Aisha, steps off a plane at Cairo International Airport and greets her grandparents for the first time. Who is this tall girl wearing black clothes, piercings, and a pixie cut, they wonder, and what secrets does she hold? Zahra and Aisha's lives unfold together as they both grapple with their religious beliefs, social pressures, love, and the search for a place to call home amidst the feminist movement and the Arab Spring.
An Inventory of Abandoned Things
In Kelly Ann Jacobson's An Inventory of Abandoned Things, winner of the 2020 Split/Lip Press Fiction Chapbook Contest, there are cockroaches in the walls and anoles trapped in the doors. Squirrels roll across the attic rafters, and red ants patrol the car floor. A lazy gopher tortoise chews lettuce in the neighbor's butterfly garden. At once the story of a pregnant graduate student separated from her wife and an inventory of the Florida panhandle, this book of linked stories questions what it means to fight the land for a place in it-and whether, in the fighting, there can be a bond between human and landscape formed that is stronger than love.

Dear Robot
Dear Robot is an anthology of nineteen science fiction stories told in a variety of epistolary styles. Letters, scientific notes, manuals, and emails all tell different stories about the future. From a behavioral contract for interstellar exchange students to a transmission from an astronaut in space, these sometimes humorous, sometimes heartbreaking stories all use their structure to amplify their message-especially when that message is that a band of deadly robots are chipping away at the door.
